"What I'm suggesting assumes continued cross licensing agreements as part of future settlements. It means that with each new settlement corporate value appreciates because cross licensing enables more and better designs with out licensing fees."

That's stating the obvious. I'm still concerned with a question I implied in a former post. Who gets the better value in EDIG's X-licensing deals. Do you remember my "if you show me yours , I'll show you mine" reference? Question is.... whose is bigger? I guess we'll never know.
